Sustainable RECovery of vALuable metaLs in bauxite residue – RECALL
In a circular economy context, the interdisciplinary RECALL project aims to develop sustainable processes to recover iron and critical metals from bauxite residues while exploring the economic impact of the developed process in terms of social welfare in which potential environmental and health impacts are taken into account.
From health crisis to political crisis? A study on the politicization processes in France hit by the Covid-19 epidemic – COVIPOL
How is the health, economic and social crisis caused by Covid-19 affecting citizens' political attitudes and their relationship to voting and democracy?<br />This project aims at providing a better understanding of how crises change political attitudes, through an analysis of politicization processes related to the current health crisis. It starts from the central assumption that work is a main space of socialization to politics.

Genetic and infectious factors shaping population variation in human immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 – COVID-19-POPCELL
The homeostatic immunological dialogue requires a constant balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory signals. Under normal circumstances, this balance is maintained by tightly regulated networks of signaling cascades and cytokine-mediated cell-cell interactions. However, there is increasing evidence to suggest that such immune equilibrium state differs among individuals and populations.
Involvement of circulating fibrocytes in pathophysiology and prognosis of COVID-19 pneumonia – FIBROCO
High circulating levels of fibrocytes are correlated to an unfavourable outcome during acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. COVID-19 pneumonia shares common histological and inflammatory features with ARDS. We aimed to determine the involvement of circulating fibrocytes during the course of COVID-19 pneumonia, and to assess if fibrocytes could be a prognosis biomarker.
Relationship to nature and gender equality. A contribution to critical theory from feminist practice and mobilisation in agroecology in Brazil – GENgiBRe
The GENgiBRe project analyses the construction of the relationship to nature from a gender, class and race perspective in two rural regions of Brazil that are subject to socio-environmental conflicts. It starts from the experience of women farmers in contact with the agroecological movement, which it situates in gender and other power relations,in socio-environmental conflicts and in the process of neoliberalisation of nature led by the current Brazilian government.
WAter vapor LIdar NEtwork ASsimilation – WaLiNeAs
Heavy precipitation events pose a threat to human lifes as well as the economy and the environment of impacted regions. Considerable efforts to improve the forecast skill for such severe events have been made in recent years. However, predicting such high-impact events remains limited because of the lack of adequate high frequency, high resolution vertically resolved water vapor observations in the lower troposphere to be assimilated in numerical weather prediction models.
Impact of co-exposure to nanoceria and benzo-(a)-pyrene on human placental barrier – PregNanoBaP
Pollutants are everywhere in the environment and many of these contaminants can reach placenta after exposure during the pregnancy. The overall aim of this project is to address the effects at cellular and molecular levels of pollutants like nanoceria and benzo-(a)-pyrene, and of their mixture, on human placental development and functions. The long-term aim is to characterize the consequences of pregnant women exposure to these pollutants on pregnancy outcome to reveal biomarkers of exposure.
